Three, but only one at a sanctioned comp. The same one that I got the top 10 overall at.

Sucks, I did a couple of first year, non-sanctioned comps, that were KCBS rules this year.

Which contest was it and I will check it out. I know that there are going to be some inconsistencies in the rankings, just because there is so much data, but when we roll out the new site we going to allow folks a very easy way of letting us know and hopefully making the changes as quickly as possible.

I know those walks mean a lot to everyone so I want to try and make sure that everyone's get counted.

It was Lincoln, NE. In July I think. It really isnt that big of a deal to me, just thought it was weird. Thanks though._________________

Ok Crazy ! you made me go look.....it was me ya'll, so the news is out.....well, for a 1st year of comp's and only 7 comps total, I feel fairly good about that ! we had more walks than shown ? I'm not sure how this ranking is setup....we had 3 calls in Sallisaw,5 6 and 10th I believe, and 3rd at Art of BBQ and a 2nd in Jenks, and a 8th in Stillwater and a6th at Claremore...so it was a fun year overall !!! wish we coulda had 4 or 5 more comp's to boost our ratings up ! oh well, midpack is ok..... _________________Livin' at the Edge of Adhesion, till Smokin' Time.. then it's OSoSlow: Chillin' Time!

Once the restaurant get's a following, I'll be able to hire some cooks and (hopefully) get a few comps under my belt. I would love to put "Award winning BBQ" on my menu, but I refuse to do that unless I win an award._________________"The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits" - Albert Einstein

well, I know from experience it's worthy of award-winning, so put it out there and if anyone asks, tell 'em to call me !!!!! _________________Livin' at the Edge of Adhesion, till Smokin' Time.. then it's OSoSlow: Chillin' Time!

OK , how IS this formulated ? is it Top Ten team per contest ? or calls ? it APPEARS to be calls judging by what is listed for some teams I know and compete with..... inquiring mind wants to know ! if it's calls then I'm missing some kudo's there ! _________________Livin' at the Edge of Adhesion, till Smokin' Time.. then it's OSoSlow: Chillin' Time!

I could always ask my neighbor to host a comp, not tell anyone but me about it, then walk away with a GC trophy... _________________"The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits" - Albert Einstein

well it isnt quite that simple.

Basically you earn points for a top 10 finish in a category. Then the point degraded over a rolling 104 week calendar.

I believe that first place is 15 points and 10th is 1 point.

But the overall is just top 10 finishes in the overall, then chicken is top 10 finishes in chicken. The striking thing to me are the teams with 40+ top 10 calls in the last 2 years. That is fairly impressive to me.
